Decision detail
Choose the ground role before the body style
Crawler and off-road products are compared by terrain role, drive, tire, ground clearance, scale and audience. A toy-grade off-road model should not be described as professional hobby equipment without the evidence to support it.
- Define the surface and user expectation.
- Compare drive, tire and ground-clearance questions.
- Check scale and package footprint for the channel.
- Confirm battery, accessories, documents and sample route.
Guide questions
What should the first RFQ make clear?
Can the guide replace a product specification?
No. It helps structure the conversation. The selected SKU, current product data, sample and written project terms still control the order.
Why include packaging and destination so early?
They can change MOQ, cost, documents, language, carton information and shipping assumptions. Early context keeps the shortlist commercially useful.
What is the best next action after reading?
Choose a small set of model references, state the channel, quantity and destination, then ask for the open product, pack, document and timing questions.
